We are just about to begin the last few sessions here at the RWW Mobile Summit and we just completed an experiment called "speed geeking." Much like speed dating, summit attendees rotated every five minutes to a variety of tables feature demos from over a dozen companies. While wandering around and snapping photos, I overhead a lot of great discussions about the various products from both the presenters and the attendees. So far the Mobile Summit is going great as fascinating debates and discussions are coming from every corner of the event. Check out a photo of the speed geeking after the break.
